On May 1 i was tested for every std. I never got a call back from my doctor about the results, so I called in office may 23 to see if my results every came in. They said yes everything was clear, except i was exposed to the cold sore virus (HSV-1) which i already knew this because I had them as a child. So i was relieved. I never had any symptoms, just wanted to be tested as I have only been with 3 people and have tested between them. I did not know that herpes wasn't included in the normal line up until I switched doctors. A week later on June 1, i got an email from my doctor that she looked at the results and i have HSV 1 & 2. That if I haven't had symptoms i may never have them. I haven't ever had symptoms of the genitals, so i was worried. I had a boyfriend- he's tested clean, he's military so they test them frequently. My doctor played it off like it was nothing. Didn't talk to me more about it, give me advice, ask about medicines to take nothing. Said if i had an outbreak call her and she'll give me medicine until then don't worry about it. But of course i worry, i don't want to give this to anyone else??? So i do my research, heard a lot about false positives, so i was thinking if my past partners have come up clean in it, how do I have it? How did i get it? I went and got my results to see my IGg levels.
HSV-1 13.30
HSV-2 1.71
I read that anywhere above 3.5 is a definite positive, but under could be a false positive or low positive. Ive also seen as where the HSV-1 can throw off the HSV-2 making that one positive?
Im not sure what to do, or what to do next as my doctor isn't really helping me with this. Any advice?
also, it says my iGM for both s <1.10 titer, what does that mean?
